Right well I actually the drove the thing round the block today!!!!!!

I still have a small list of jobs to do.

Bleed the breaks so I can actually stop the thing
Put bracket on the exhaust that joins to the the y piece
Tighten up the belt
Grease all the grease points
Get the horn washer jets side lights and tail lights too work
Attach the bonnet
Put 2 fuel pipe clips on

Most of these are small things so hopefully I should get these done 2moz ready for L2B.

Fingers Cross!!!!!!!!

I'm really pleased with them and they didn't take long to arrive at all.

Thanks.

Right well she did L2B without to many problems. I had a few electrical issues mainly down to my rusted up fuse box. This is being replaced 2moz. I got the side lights and tail lights going although my indicators have now given up. So considering she was only finished the day before hand I think she did quite well.

Any enough of the problems. Heres a couple of pics.

I did mine after a night drinking at a field party, folded it up, went to put it in the bag and it popped up and split my lip open... haha, wasn't impressed.

Quick question, where'd your petrol bib come from?

All in all I have no idea what was wrong with the car. I had no drive to the wheels and when I tried their was just a massive grinding noise. I was told it was the diff. I took the engine out too the diff of and it was fine. I thought while the engine was out I would take the gearbox off but again that was fine. I then just put it all back together greased everything and torqued it all up and it should and she ran. So I have no idea what the problem was. I'm guessing something was not in probably or tightened up enough but as I'v put it all back together I'v sorted this. So bascily after all this time and work I'c done to it I have no idea waht was wrong. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed is doesn't do it again.
